Back in August, I presented a monologue I wrote for a workshop on "The Bottom Monologues." It was a strange experience to work on the piece -- which is clearly informed by my experiences as a bottom, but inflected by the narratives we collected for the project. It needs some work, but I think it's pretty sassy so far!
Anyhow, Fernando from Latino Men in Action was kind enough to share the video he shot of the performance. He uploaded it a few weeks ago, but I just finally got the link! Would LOVE to hear your feedback! It's tenatively titled "Masc4Masc: No Fats, Fems or Blacks":
I love it. In my view, for exclusive gay bottoms, Hoppe's Bottom Monologues has the same power as "The Vagina Monologues" has for women. Even though some of these are sexually explicit autobiographical pieces that may be sexually stimulating to many gay men, they address serious scientific matters that have a socially redeeming purpose. This means they are not pornographic according to the U.S. Supreme Court. They are serious ethnographic accounts.
